Fuzzy nearest neighbor approach for drought monitoring and assessment

Abstract In this paper, a new approach is proposed based on the Fuzzy-nearest neighbor model to deal with drought monitoring. According to the Standardized Precipitation Index and via Fuzzy-kNN approach, a method has been presented to predict the most likely drought conditions. In order to appraise...
